Hi all,
We are building a coop soon for our new chicks and i have some concerns about rats. Recently we discovered that they are nesting at the bottom of our compost bin ( a pallett-special
) and I'm wondering if any of you with a flock of layers bother with trying to get rid of them? Or do you just live and let live? We plan to predator proof the coop and rodent proof as much as is possible, though ideas on rodent-proofing are definitely welcome...
We live on a farm with barn-fuls of grain-eating animals all around us on neighbouring farms, So, the rats are here, and I wonder if it makes any sense to get rid of them by trapping etc? Our farm is certified organic, so I have to be careful about chemical controls too...
What do you all do?
